Probably will have pretty much zero effect on what the previous outcome would of been anyway. While it certainly effects the ceiling potential involved the new Dodger Tax isn't going to stop them in their tracks from signing a Bryce Harper type if they really want him. They'll chalk up the extra 40 cents on the dollar more then they were already being taxed anyway on the cost of doing business, and in a couple years from now MLB will once again be left feigning surprise that the attempt to implant a cap without actually implanting a hard cap didn't quite play out the way they had envisioned.My biggest question is how does this affect the mega FA class for the 2018 season.
It's the lead up to that which gets most effected here imo, as teams look to start cashing out at the deadline before the final year at the latest on some of these guys. This winter and upcoming deadline should be pretty fun in that regard.
